Happy Birthday Kim!! Surprise! I am giving you a much overdue tribute on your special day. Thanks for being a great "big" sister. I have always looked at you that way even though you are only minutes older. There is so much about you that I admire and wish that I could be more like. Let's take a walk down memory lane.....
First of all, you can dance and I always knew it and felt jipped that you got ALLLL the moves. I will forever be amazed when I think of how you did the moonwalk after watching Michael do it on the Grammy's. It was magic before my eyes and you guessed it, I was JEALOUS! No way could I do that! And I was Michael's biggest fan, remember? You were always the outgoing one and so not self-conscience. I was your polar opposite. I wished I was more spontaneous and free like you. If I could rewind the clock I would have had more fun like you and lived a little more. (just a little)
Thanks for being my captive audience. We shared a room forever and you were stuck with all of my abnoxious and seriously annoying attempts to prevent you from going to sleep. I still remember how much you loved your sleep and I tortured you with whatever craziness was going on in my head. Can you remember my impersonation of Bill Cosby? What was wrong with me?! It didn't matter how much you pleaded, begged, and cried for me to shut up and let you sleep I always knew you would break down and laugh; even if it was in your pillow so it was barely audible. Anyway, I was always after the laughs and you always gave them to me. Thank you! This is a good time to apologize for trying to blackmail you by threatening to tell that you were kissing.... what was his name again? Again, I was just jealous because I wan't kissing anyone and you guessed it....too shy!
Okay, how come you inherited mom's green thumb at everthing you attempt? You do most things really well....just like mom. How did you sew those American Girl doll clothes so easily? Do you know how long I have been trying to learn to sew and I am always still learning? I am in awe once again! You have so many talents! You can sing, cook, bake, sew, dance, make whatever you want to make. You can do it all!
Thanks Kim for being my twin sister. It was fun growing up together, most of the time! We for sure never saw eye to eye but we had fun! Thanks for crying hysterically when I was packing my little bag to run away at eight years old, for playing wonder twins, money machine, and for letting me take us as high as we could go on the rockets at Disneyland! I left with some hair left and lots of pinch marks on my arm but it was worth it! I can still hearing you yelling at me to stop lifting us up into the air! Classic! Have a Happy 35th Birthday! Love you!
Love,
Jackie
